IMPROVEMENT IN SPRING BEiD-BOTTOMS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 139,567, dated June 3,1873; application filed March 29, 1873.

To all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES GAMMEL, of Utica, in the county of Oneidaand State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvementin Sprin g Bedottoms, of which the following is a specilication:

Figure l' is a top View of my improved bedbottorn. Fig. 2 is a side viewof the same, partly folded.

Similar letters ot' reference indicate corresponding parts.

The invention consists in improving the construction of bed-bottoms, ashereinafter fully described and pointed out in the claim.

A are ordinary coiled springs, any desired number of which may be used.The ends of the wires that form the springs Aat each end of said springsare bent to forni squaresB of a little larger diameter than the springs.The sprin gs A are arranged in rows and alternately, as shown in Fig. 1.In the vacant spaces which arrangement vrequires the springs to be madeweaker than when arranged alternately, as shown in Fig. 1.

At two points, one-quarter the distance from the head and foot, theadjacent sides of two rows of squares, B C, upon the under side of thebed-bottom are not connected7 so that the end y To the lower side of theparts or sections of the bed-bottom are secured pieces of Brusselscarpet, E, or other firm thick cloth, to rest up on the slats of thebedstead and thus prevent noise when the bed is being used.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent- The combination of the springs, the hinged squaresand sections, and the subjacent fabric, 'l

as and for the purpose described.
